demanding business environment.
There is nothing like absolute security; probability of compromise can be considerably reduced by using appropriate process, suitable technology and adequately trained manpower.
I met Mr Ashish Saxena, the Managing Director of AKS IT Services during our flagship event NTLF in February and an interesting conversation ensued. A few days later, he invited me over to his office and I was privy to some very interesting insights. The government’s stated vision of a 1 trillion digital economy by 2025 is ambitious but achievable, if we get the building blocks right. Of these, the one of cybersecurity is a curious one. Arguably, it is the greatest threat to the avowed vision but at the same time companies like AKS IT Services are doing remarkably well to address the challenges and provide a hot-bed for talent incubation to nurture multi-dimensional expertise in digital technologies (particularly in AI & ML). As per NASSCOM study, the IT industry will require at least a million cyber security professionals by 2025.
